What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (52 Viewers)

[BCR4619]

which material is this one .? assume it's for basic vinyl / cloth interiors ?

I would assume so, VX Limited interior which has nicer seats and so on.

I have not really seen any other option's in the 81's over here.

I put on a whole new exhaust..well almost all...after some thieves stole the cats off my friends '96. After a lot of fabrication with the welder and putting out a couple of fires from the sparks she is looking pretty and running quietly. How many other people here have had their catalytic converters stolen??

Removed the front bumper and brush guard, removed rear bumper corners, sanded the front clip, bought some flat black paint, and some bed liner.

took my head off yesterday after school because the HG blew at 255,000 miles. the original toyota HG was in really bad shape. anyway I brought my 1fz head to the machine shop after disassembling it today and the machinist said it looked new. no wear on the bearings and no sludge or discoloration in the metal. I said it had 255,000 miles on it. his jaw was on the ground. That's why you change your oil regularly guys.

As IanB said talk to Akela as he should be able to get to your color.

It was a little pricey but its new and has a cool factor

I had 2 engines that were replaced... both with over 200k and for different reasons. one of them had 1/8" of burnt buildup under the valve cover... the other one clean metal. You can tell which one was taken care of and oil changed.

Rabbit trail over
1. Cleaned up the spare engine I have for the 97 LX and put it away for when I need it or find a blown locked 80 that can use it.
2. Started another P0401 cleaning and ordered parts.

Is there a way to install a fridge console on a us spec truck?

Built some simple drawers last year. This past weekend I "hippolined" everything. Nasty stuff to work with but so far I am impressed with the look and feel. My hands are still covered in the stuff, after using paint thinner and steel wool. Should of worn gloves.

Personally wont do it for practicality, but if i had money and time and for the cool OEM factor will do it for sure. New parts will run you over a 1k easily.

Better off to find one out of a HDJ81 that wrecked.


IIRC the lines from the engine to the box are not available anymore right?

New to me ARB installed. Slee AC drier skid installed. Converted to rotella 5w40 and big Wix. IPOR trans skid plate goes on tomorrow

Paul (deadlew) is the best guy I've ever dealt with in 10 years buying stuff off car forums.

I snapped a picture of my dad turnin wrenches on my rig. First father/son cruiser project in the bag.
